Summary:
Nothing spectacular a few nice views from the top. Watch out for the first creek as you start the decent, for inexperienced riders that can be tretcherous and they might crash and have their bike go into the creek.

Recommended Route:
Directions are easy especially from the rather attractive lady at the bike store in Leavenworth.

Summary:
8.5 miles when doing just the loop, approx. the same amount up and down. Park in town and ride out Chumstick Canyon Road a couple miles for a gentle warmup. Trail recommended by the guys at Das Rad Haus. Great shop and very helpful and they gave me a map. The ride up is a nice climb, first on road, then good singletrack. Once at the saddle, a trail along the ridge (firebreak) intersects the main loop road/trail. I climbed this ridge (hike a bike) to where it once again is on road. You can ride the road to within a few hundred feet of the top of the Mountain and then climb on foot to great views. Ride back partly down the road, but keep eyes open for a burly track that descends the ridge back to the trail you hiked up, then down to the saddle, past the saddle, and eventually down to the trail you climbed originally. This last fork can be deceptive, as you're smoking along. This trip down the ridge is called Ribbed and has drops, jumps, log rides, and other good stunts. The rims were smoking at the bottom, but one can clean it with a sturdy hartail. Ride back up to the saddle, then descend the road/trail full of big waterbars and stay off the brakes for some good air time.

Recommended Route:
Follow Dani's route up to the saddle and up to the top of Tumwater Mountain for the views. Then descend the ridge past the saddle to where it connects with the trail you originally ascended. Ride back up to saddle, then down the other side to complete the original loop.
